Woot. Mootools 1.1 is out and it’s awesome. Mootools r87 was the first stable release of the framework (end of Nov. of 06). Mootools 1.0 came out (r241) at the end of Jan. and was a huge improvement, adding functionality, documentation (I wrote those, thank you very much), and numerous bug fixes.

I’ve been using Flickr as a bit of testbed for a new site theme I’ve been working on for Google Reader. C’mon after the Bloglines thing, I bet you saw it coming didn’t you?!

Same drill again then. There may well be oddness and inconsistencies, and Google may well make radical changes to the Reader’s markup tomorrow, mucking the whole show up. But for what it’s worth, here it is! Its not trying to be original or ‘better’ than the default theme, it’s just trying to make it look like a Mac OS X app – that’s all I want!

Actually, while this may create bugs, it actually solves a bug that I was seeing in WebKit browsers with the default css. When scrolling, some sidebar elements would annoyingly bounce up and down. Not any more!

The download includes a list of known bugs/todos. If you seen anything not on this list, please leave a comment! I’ll update this page when I upload newer versions of the theme. Read the more »

Bugs bother us, so when they’re brought to our attention, we do our best to fix them. Tarski 1.2.3 is mostly a bug-fixing release, but I’m happy to say it comes with some new features too, albeit not of our making: two new translations, into French by Matthieu Mauduit and into Danish by Henrik Buchwald. Many thanks to both of them for their hard work. Read the more »

Microsoft has listed a 100 “wows” for its latest OS, Windows Vista.Sadly, majority of the votes on the net are against Vista. XP works

just fine for everyone at the moment, for several reasons and most people would like to first try Vista on their secondary computers or elsewhere, before upgrading to it.

There are a couple bits of interesting YPN/Yahoo related news recently. The first is that Yahoo’s new product, MyBlogLog, happens to do Adsense tracking. This means that if you use MyBlogLog, Yahoo could be learning proprietary information about your Adsense to use to improve their competing YPN product: Read the more »
